On paper, life may look pretty good. You’re showing up, taking care of responsibilities, and doing what you’re “supposed” to do, yet something still feels off.

I help people slow down, get curious, and understand what’s getting in the way. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, relationships, and values so you can build confidence, strengthen connection, and move toward a life that feels more fully your own.

I work with clients who feel there is more to who they are than how they are currently living, and who are committed to making a shift. My relational approach encourages the therapeutic process to be a co-creative exploration between clients and myself, meeting as a collaborative team. Working holistically, with the body and mind, I work with clients towards re-patterning old constructs to support living from a place of balance and deep presence. Together, we uncover new perspectives that are in support of the client's goals and growth.

With a background in attachment-based therapies such as EFCT, family systems, Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed therapy, I specialize in working with the complexity of emotions that keep couples from actualizing the life and relationship they want.

The most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Non-judgment. Trust. Compassion. Acceptance. I encourage clients to work from within this space, creating a curiosity towards the innate workings of the self. "The curious paradox of life is that once I accept myself as I am, it is then I can change." Carl Rogers

I believe in working together as a team, with both adults and adolescents.
The Latin root of the word motivation means “to move”. In order to move we need to have a purpose and a goal as well as the confidence to believe in ourselves and the decisions we make. Trauma, including PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, relationships with food and eating, self harm and suicide ideation are the areas where the majority of my clients are challenged. Gaining self awareness, confidence and belief in yourself and your abilities, and the courage to move through the hard stuff, will be the foundation for creating a new way to move in the world.

Everyone faces challenges and adversity at some point, whether it’s family stress, relationship struggles, work demands, or the everyday weight of decision-making.

We live in extremely difficult times, and they were never meant to be experienced alone.

Together, we’ll work toward empowering you to live authentically and in alignment with your values.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
